I have component eForum under development some months now (forum component for Elxis CMS). Unfortunately I was not able to work on this project as much as I wanted so it has been late to be released. Now I work harder on it and I hope to have it ready till the end of April.
A short report on what I have done till now (completed tasks for eForum front-end).

-
Fantastico!

I need to complete all the basic functionality first in order to ask you do something as eForum is currently not stable.
Supernet: we will discuss again the logo issue in the near future.
WebGift: I need you to take over some modules for eForum (latest posts, etc). I will tell you more in the near future.
I will also need translators and some beta testers.
-
Ok done.
Right ... Beta Tester : yes.!
-
Ok for logo.
Translators: English
Beta tester: Yes
-
I glad will help with anything you ask me John.
As for the English translation I can give it to professional to be translate it OR check it for syntax.
-
John you can consider my help also given if you think that i can do something on project.
-
I'm Here
As Translator Italian yes ;D
As Beta Tester no :)
-
as translator to russian and beta-tester - yes and any help if i can do.

Question for datahell
Finally, is there going to be a linkage between eForum and eBlog, as said previously ?
-
You can add a link as usual to anything. So you can add a "discuss this post" link from an eblog post to an eForum topic.
You have something different in mind?
BTW here is a new screen-shot from a topic page (not 100% complete yet).

Yes, but i don't know how hard or easy is to be done. I'll call you tomorrow, and tell you ;)
-
It is as simple as adding a link like this:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/eforum/board-name/45.html">discuss this post</a>
Other type of links you can use (I will write all options at the Elxis wiki when I complete the development).
Link to specific post (eForum will automatically detect the page this post belongs to and direct you directly to the specific post):
http://www.mysite.com/eforum/board-name/45.html?msg=124
Link to the last post of a topic (eForum will automatically direct you to the the last post of a topic):
http://www.mysite.com/eforum/board-name/45.html?last
Link to a specific page of a topic:
http://www.mysite.com/eforum/board-name/45.html?page=2
-
but i don't know how hard or easy is to be done.
I mean the thing i have in mind. It's kind of a different way. 8)
we will talk
-
i can test it when a beta sanded... write mi mail
-
e-mailit (http://www.e-mailit.com/) sharing widget was implemented into eForum posts.
E-mailit supports 302 social networks and bookmark destinations and it is the official sharing service for Elxis CMS.
-
I prefer Add this ;)
-
You prefer e-mailit.
-
You prefer e-mailit.
Last year ::)
-
For the same reason why we pick Elxis and not other "bigger" CMSs we must support e-mailit.
Nikitas Grigoropoulos at e-mailit has done a great work on his widget and we must support him.
Elxis will have e-mailit as the official sharing service. If you don't like it you can use an other.
-
For the sharing service:
eForum supports both e-mailit and AddThis. You can use any of these services or even both of them.
I need 1 volunteer.
The basic functionality of eForum is almost ready. Today I will complete the last important task, sending of notifications for new replies. I want 1 volunteer to send him the DEV version of eForum in order to write documentation for it at Elxis wiki.
The volunteer must be able to install manually eForum at a local Elxis installation and write about eForum functionality and how things work.
As eForum is a big component with many pages and tasks the documentation must be in multiple pages, as for IOS eshop (http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Category:IOS-Eshop) and IOS Reservations (http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Category:IOS-Reservations) components. I will give you more info on how to write it.
If someone is interested in this job send me a personal message.
-
No volunteers? >:(
-
it looks very good knowledge needed for this work :-\
-
No, you dont need any special knowledge except to import eForum's SQL via phpmyadmin. You dont have to know PHP and you will not mess up with code. You only need to describe what each page of eForum does. You will add some screen shots and that's it.
BTW the following tasks are also complete:
- Set notifications on/off for a topic.
- Send notifications for new replies on posts users watch.
- Search members by criteria.
- Special mark for boards containing unread posts in eForum frontpage.
- Special mark for topics containing unread posts in topics list page.
- Reply to a post with quote.
- Move a topic to an other board.
- Set topic sticky/unsticky.
- Set topic locked/unlocked.
- Share posts via social networks (AddThis and e-mailit are supported).

-

-
eForum 0.8 DEV sent to supernet, nikos and webgift.
-

-

have plans to add new bb codes?
I think make the code for the tables as in this forum (engine)
-
You mean html tables?
<table>...</table> ???
-
yes
smf use - easily
-
I dont find a good idea to allow tables in a forum...
I post on forums for many years and I never needed to write a table.
-
how to make that on eforum ???

Pure CSS: make embed images float left
<img style="float:left;" src="" alt="" /> text here
-
eForum support html?? ;D
-
You want your forum users to write html? Are you sure?
-
What kind of users will you have ? ... developers ? ;D

Pure CSS: make embed images float left
<img style="float:left;" src="" alt="" /> text here
I know how to do it in html, but how to do this in eforum?
you offered me that option does not work on the forum :D
I do not want users to use html, they are not developers :D
I want to use tables to design messages
-
You didn't understood me, I didn't said to write html. I wrote html to display you a sample on how you can style an image with css.
eForum puts the article inside a table cell (td).
You can add a css clas in this table like this:
<td colspan="3" class="post_content">
<img /> sample post
</td>
Now in your css you can style the embed images:
.post_content img {
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
}
You may need to make more modifications in html to achieve this but you will surely need less effort than creating a table insert button in the editor.
